Back in the 1990s, many of us were using weed & bug killing pesticides without a minute thought.
I remember seeing my Grandma spray those products with flip flops on & bare hands.
These afternoons I realize that those chemicals are so carcinogenic that I would have clothing on from head to toe, a mask on my face, & gloves on my hands. That’s because I & many others developed cancer in the decades following annually use of these pesticides. Once the internet got changingly popular, the two of us started to find each other & more came out of the woodwork to report their experiences. It didn’t take long for someone to suggest getting an attorney involved to create a class-action lawsuit. The people I was with and I ended up calling the state Bar Association to get referrals for great attorneys, & that’s when the two of us were recommended to try this man who is a prominent corporate & civil litigation lawyer. I had seen him on local TV in the past after she helped a bunch of migrant workers with a case against a corporation that was abusing them for years. Thankfully, she agreed to take on our class-action lawsuit instantaneously after meeting with us all. She tried to litigate a settlement with the manufacturer of the carcinogenic pesticides, but they wouldn’t budge. I don’t suppose any of us were surprised when the two of us found out that the case was going to court. Despite the odds being stacked against us, the two of us ended up winning the lawsuit against that horrible corporation. It wasn’t a fortune, but the two of us all acquired money from the class-action suit.
